Making a deodorant from Aluminum

Process manufactory of this product has been developed over two months in the Laboratory of Chemical Engineering Science UB TSB is done by extracting the aluminum waste with potassium

hydroxide (KOH), after reacted with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) which will produce potassium aluminum sulfate, or alum.

"The advantage of these products contain elements guns chlorine (CI), which can cause skin irritation," said the student. Aluminum also serves shrink the pores of the skin to not sweat (antiperspirant).
